Confirmation

Affirm your faith in Jesus Christ.

CONFIRMATION 2023 - 2024

Confirmation class is in full swing! If you are interested in registering your child, check below for information on the 2024 – 2025 class.

The most important aspect of confirmation is making a public profession of faith in Jesus Christ. The second aspect of confirmation is taking a vow to be faithful to Christ and His Church and supporting it with our prayers, presence, gifts, services and witness.

Upcoming 2024 - 2025 Confirmation Class

Interested in signing up for the next class? You have come to the right place! Confirmation is for middle school students – primarily 6th graders, but open to 7th and 8th graders as well. The cost to register is $75. Each confirmation student will get a Confirm Tote Bag which includes a Confirm Study Bible, Confirm Journal, and class t-shirt (provided at Spring Retreat.)

We believe that confirmation is a significant step in the journey of faith. Middle-school students are invited to claim for themselves the names, “Christian” and “United Methodist.” This is also a time when youth begin to need the larger community of faith even more. The Confirmation Milestone is designed to help parents navigate the teenage years. Confirmation is a year long journey that will begin with a Covenant Service on August 18, 2024. Confirmands meet weekly during the 9:45 a.m. Sunday school hour. During these classes, students are encouraged to examine their own thoughts on faith and God as a young adult. On Sunday, May 18, 2025, they have the opportunity to be confirmed in their faith and become full members of the church.

Parents only — Join us for an informative meeting on April 28 during the Sunday school hour. We will meet in Room 106, which is in the youth section.
